SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit separately from the PFD and MFD: FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect) Disengages the autopilot and interrupts pitch trim operation The AP DISC Switch is located on the control stick. This switch may be used to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect alert and mute the associated aural tone.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW 7.2 Flight Director Operation FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The flight director function provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and displays them on the PFD. With the flight director activated, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars. Maximum commanded pitch (+20°/-15°) and roll (22°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values established during AFCS certification.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System AFCS Status Box FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Flight director mode annunciations are displayed on the PFD when the flight director is active. Autopilot status is displayed in the center of the AFCS Status Box. Lateral flight director modes are displayed on the left and vertical on the right. Armed modes are displayed in white and active in green.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Flight Director Modes FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection, the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll modes(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System 7.3 Vertical Modes FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Table 7-2 lists the vertical modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes. The UP/DN Wheel can be used to change the vertical mode reference while operating under Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Pitch Hold Mode (PIT) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS When the flight director is activated (the FD Key is pressed), Pitch Hold Mode is selected by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active pitch mode by the green annunciation ‘PIT’. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter), since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Pitch Hold Mode is activated.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System Selected Altitude Capture Mode (ALTS) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed with activation of the following modes: • Pitch Hold • Go Around • Vertical Speed • Vertical Path Tracking (if the Selected Altitude is to be captured instead of the VNAV Target Altitude) • Flight Level Change EIS The white ‘ALTS’ annunciation indicates Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed (see Figure 7-5 for example).
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Altitude Hold Mode (ALT) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Altitude Hold Mode can be activated by pressing the ALT Key; the flight director maintains the current aircraft altitude (to the nearest 10 feet) as the Altitude Reference. The flight director’s Altitude Reference, shown in the AFCS Status Box, is independent of the Selected Altitude, displayed above the Altimeter. Altitude Hold Mode active is indicated by a green ‘ALT’ annunciation in the AFCS Status Box.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System Vertical Speed Mode (VS) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Vertical Speed Mode is activated by pressing the VS Key. The annunciation ‘VS’ appears in the active pitch mode field, along with the Vertical Speed Reference to the right; the Vertical Speed Reference is also displayed above the Vertical Speed Indicator.

Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Non-Path Descents FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes can also be used to fly non-path descents while VNAV is enabled. If the VS or FLC Key is pressed while Vertical Path Tracking Mode is selected, Vertical Path Tracking Mode reverts to armed along with the appropriate altitude capture mode to allow profile re-capture.
Automatic Flight Control System FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS SYSTEM OVERVIEW At 50 feet from the VNAV Target Altitude, the flight director automatically transitions from VNAV Target Altitude Capture to Altitude Hold Mode and tracks the level leg. As Altitude Hold Mode becomes active, the white ‘ALT’ annunciation moves to the active vertical mode field and flashes green for 10 seconds to indicate the automatic transition.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW NOTE: Some RNAV (FMS) approaches provide a vertical descent angle as an aid in flying a stabilized FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS approach. These approaches are NOT considered Approaches with Vertical Guidance (APV). Approaches that are annunciated on the HSI as LNAV or LNAV+V are considered Nonprecision Approaches (NPA) and are flown to an MDA even though vertical glidepath (GP) information may be provided.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System Glideslope Mode (GS) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS guides the aircraft back to the glideslope upon release of the CWS Button. Glideslope Mode is available for LOC/ILS approaches to capture and track the glideslope. When Glideslope Mode is armed (annunciated as ‘GS’ in white), LOC Approach Mode is armed as the lateral flight director mode.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Go Around Mode (GA) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Pushing the GA Switch engages the flight director in a wings-level, pitch-up attitude, allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around. This mode is a coupled pitch and roll mode and is annunciated as ‘GA’ in both the active pitch and roll mode fields. Go Around Mode arms Selected Altitude Capture Mode automatically. Attempts to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System 7.4 Lateral Modes FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The GFC 700 offers the lateral modes listed in Table 7-3.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Roll Hold Mode (ROL) Note: If Roll Hold Mode is activated as a result of a mode reversion, the flight director rolls the wings FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS level. When the flight director is activated, Roll Hold Mode is selected by default. This mode is annunciated as ‘ROL’ in the AFCS Status Box. The current aircraft bank angle is held, subject to the bank angle conditions listed in Table 7-4.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System Heading Select Mode (HDG) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. Heading Select Mode acquires and maintains the Selected Heading. The Selected Heading is shown by a light blue bug on the HSI and in the box to the upper left of the HSI. Changing the selected heading Note: Pressing the HDG Knob synchronizes the Selected Heading to the current heading. EIS The Selected Heading is adjusted using the HDG Knob.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Navigation Modes (FMS, VOR, LOC,) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active FMS course for the FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS flight director to enter Navigation Mode. NOTE: When intercepting a flight plan leg, the flight director gives commands to capture the active leg at approximately a 45° angle to the track between the waypoints defining the active leg.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System Changing the Selected Course FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Selected Course is controlled using the CRS Knob (while in VOR, LOC, or OBS Mode). Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Course while in Navigation Mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Course (or FMS flight plan) when the CWS Button is released.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Approach Modes (FMS, VAPP, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active FMS course for the FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS flight director to enter Approach Mode. EIS Approach Mode is activated when the APR Key is pressed. Approach Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation source (FMS, VOR, or LOC), depending on the loaded approach.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1) Ensure that FMS is the selected navigation source (use the Active Nav Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if necessary). FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Automatic Flight Control System 3) Ensure the corresponding LOC frequency is tuned. 2) Ensure a LOC/ILS approach is loaded into the active flight plan. 4) Press the APR Key.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW LOC Navigation Mode automatically (i.e., without pressing the BC key) reverts to Backcourse Mode if the localizer front course is greater than 105° from the aircraft heading. Refer to the previous discussion (in this section) on Navigation Modes for more information on LOC Navigation Mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System 7.5 Autopilot Operation FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NOTE: Refer to the AFM for specific instructions regarding emergency procedures. The autopilot operates flight control surface servos to provide automatic flight control. Pitch and roll commands are provided to the servos, based on the active flight director modes. The autopilot uses pitch and roll rates to stabilize the aircraft attitude during upsets and flight director maneuvers.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Control Wheel Steering FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS During autopilot operation, the aircraft may be hand-flown without disengaging the autopilot. Pressing and holding the CWS Button disengages the pitch and roll servos from the flight control surfaces and allows the aircraft to be hand-flown. At the same time, the flight director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the maneuver.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System 7.6 Example Procedures FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Note: The following example flight plan and diagrams (not to be used for navigation) in this section are for instructional purposes only and should be considered not current. Numbered portions of accompanying diagrams correspond to numbered procedure steps.

Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW Intercepting a VOR Radial FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS During climb-out, the autopilot continues to fly the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V4 to Salina VOR (SLN) should now be intercepted. Since the enroute flight plan waypoints correspond to VORs, flight director Navigation Mode using either VOR or FMS as the navigation source may be used. In this scenario, VOR Navigation Mode is used for navigation to the first VOR waypoint in the flight plan.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Automatic Flight Control System Flying a Flight Plan/FMS Course Note: Changing the navigation source cancels Navigation Mode and causes the flight director to revert FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS back to Roll Hold Mode (wings rolled level). As the aircraft closes on Salina VOR, FMS is used to navigate the next leg, airway V244. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on Airway V4.
Automatic Flight Control System SYSTEM OVERVIEW • Non-path descent in a VNAV scenario – A VNAV flight plan is entered and enabled, however Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode can be used to descend to the VNAV Target Altitude prior to reaching the planned TOD.
